Astro Boy Page #2

flunked out of college...

...but I was right

about the red core!

He'll say anything, you're

the only one's with the brains.

Sir?

Dad?

Dad!

- Toby!

I can't open it!

I can't open it!

Help me!

Dad, help!

- Toby!

Dad!

- It's going to be okay, Toby!

I'm going to get you out!

Everything's going to be fine!

I promise!

Toby!

Burn out!

Whe... Where is Toby?

Where's my son?

I'm so sorry, Tenma.

Toby.

It's all my fault!

He hasn't eaten or slept for days.

- I know.

He's gone crazy, hasn't he?

If you lose your son

like that...

...and you don't regret,

...you're not a human being.

Clear the lab.

He looks just like him!

Doesn't it?

A perfect replica.

Plus, I have uploaded

all of Toby's memories.

It'll think it is Toby.

- Don't expect too much, Tenma.

It has the most advanced

defense systems ever created.

I won't lose him again.

Did you bring what I asked?

I couldn't refuse a grieving father.

The core is unpredictable.

I can't guarantee, what effect...

- It's gonna make it perfect!

Perfect!

Just like Toby was.

Dad?

Toby!

Dad!

Welcome back, son!

Thank you, Elefun!

I'm gonna take it...

...him, home now.

Quality time! Bonding!

All the good things!

Bye, Dr. Elefun.

Bye, Toby!

Incredible!

Dad?

Good morning, son.

How do you feel?

Kinda weird.

Have I been sick or something?

No, you're fine, Toby.

You're perfect.

You are wonderful.

Oh, that's great,

because...

Are you okay?

No!

Uh, I must be malfunctioning!

Wires crossing, huh?

It can't be you!

You are...

Oh, my gosh!

You are...

You are...

- Hey, Orrin, you okay?

You're... gonna be

late for school.

Well, I... I must say it...

...it's very nice to

see you again.

Sit down, Toby.

I want to talk to you.

- Sure, Dad.

It's about school.

I have decided

you shouldn't go anymore, son.

I'm gonna teach you at home.

Myself!

- Sounds good to me.

Hey, Orrin, looks like

we're gonna be hanging out together.

Together? Oh!

Wow, that would be very nice,

Master Toby!

Oh, dear!

Please, Toby,

just let the robot do it's things.

Sorry.

Hey, if you're gonna be home

as well as me.

What about the ministry,

your job?

My job now...

...is to be your father.

I'm so freaked!

Let's start

with something familiar.

Four natural calculus.

It's your favorite.

I guess it is.

If, sir wishes perhaps

I could help Master Toby with...

Oh, bad idea.

Bad idea.

I'm a robot.

What am I thinking?

Wrong way!

Okay...

Here.

Excellent.

Yeah!

Interesting solution.

Good! Good!

Bravo, wonderful, excellent... Toby!

First grades on first day!

You ain't seen nothing yet.

Howdy?

Let's get back to basics.

Remember this one?

Kant's "Critique of pure reason".

I used to read to you in bed

when you were little.

To put me to sleep?

- Yes!

You asked for it every night!

That's not quite what I...

- Just try rereading these.

To get the old brain humming again.

More!

Next!

Beautiful!

I got it! I got it!

Sweet, Orrin!

You're the man!

Yes! You know,

I haven't had this much fun since...

Well, ever!

Check this out!

I'm impressed!

Not knocked out,

but impressed.

That's nothing!

Watch this!

Now that is impressive,

Master Toby!

Just Toby is fine, Orrin.

Toby!

What are you doing?

I said to read these books,

not destroy them.

I... I just wanted to test

Da Vinci's theories.

I, perhaps...

...encouraged...

...Master Toby,

...sir.

You should not

be wearing that hat.

A robot should not be

wearing my son's...

...Toby's hat.

Dad, it's fine.

I don't even like that hat.

I think you should

go to your room.

But, Dad...

- Do as what you're told!

Tenma?

What's wrong?

I think I made

a terrible mistake.

I thought he would

be like Toby!

But it's not!

It is strange.

he's very strange.

Strange?

Strangish, how?

- He's brilliant!

As Toby was,

but different.

Well, you can't expect him

to be a carbon copy.

Give time for him, Tenma!

- You don't understand!

He was made to replace Toby!

But everytime I look at him...

...it just reminds me

that Toby is gone!

He's never coming back.

What's different?

I haven't seen dad

angry before.

Look at the haircut

on that one!

It's like he got horns!

- Horns? Good one!

What you mean, horns?

It's gel.

Wait!

I can understand you?

- Wow, that's creepy!

What is?

- Looks like he can understand us!

Don't be a dummy.

- I can hear what you're saying.

It is as if he can hear

what we're saying.

There's no way!

He is a human!

Come on, let's go and clean

some statues.

Okey-dokey!

How can I understand

what you're saying?

You are robots!

- You don't want any trouble.

Wait up! I just wanna know

what's going on?

What's happening to me?

Okay, guys.

Let's back up,

very carefully.

Oh, no!

Do not go so fast!

We're coming!

That's weirdy for me!

Wait, this steak is undercooked.

This is so cool!

I gotta show dad.

How can my approval ratings

be this low?

I was very popular

in high school.

I've cut taxes for a lot of

very influential friends.

What more do you people want!?

We're tracking an

unidentified object...

...flying over Metro City, sir!

The surface fellas are firing at us?

Oh, this is what

I've been waiting for.

Declare war on them.

This is gonna get me re-elected!

This didn't come from the surface, sir!

- Then, it's my opponent.

He's taking the golves off,

he's playing hardball.

It's blue core energy, sir!

- What?

Elefun, told me that

the blue core was destroyed.

Give me a location,

alert all units.

I must have that thing now!

I got here as fast as I could.

Where is he?

Where's Toby?

- I sent him to his room.

Please, just deactivate him

and take him away!

I can't bare

to see his face again.

Come on, Tenma!

You can't just throw him away

like a piece of junk.

Dad?

What's going on?

Why you're talking about me

like this?

Toby, there's been

a bit of a misunderstanding.

You are not actually,

an entirely ordinary boy.

I know!

Dad, I can fly!

I can drill my way through solid rock,

it's amazing!

How did I think,

this could work?

What's wrong with me?

Why don't you love me anymore?

He's programmed with the memories

of your own son, Tenma!

Programmed?

- Doesn't that mean anything to you?

But he isn't my son.

Dad!

I'm... I'm not your dad.

You're not Toby.

You are a copy of Toby.

Not my son, a robot!

And... and I...

...don't want you...

...anymore!

- No! No!

Toby, wait!

I can't see into the future,

but I'm sure...

...there's a place for you,

you just have to find it.

He's my father!

This is my house!

It's all I know.

- Everyone has a destiny, Toby.

Didn't you hear?

I'm not Toby.

Please Elefun.

It's true!

What?

Sir, we've located

the signal source, but...

It... it's a child.

Readings for the core

are off the chart!

Is that Tenma's boy?

Of course not.

Holy cow!

Tenma must have lost his mind!

Bring it in!

This is Stinger one,

set weapons to capture.

Oh, no!

Woah! He just took off!
